Re: the funeral tv adds Arrrgh''''''
They infuriate me as do all the gambling ads.
And I've noticed that almost every charity/organisation has a lottery these days. You just text them and they take such and such an amount from your phone account.
I often wonder who the ads are aimed at, ie. who is likely to fall into such a category that people watching certain programmes will. Increasingly I find myself watching shows that are aimed at the elderly, the bored, those with gambling inclinations etc.
But I'm sick of the funeral ones, especially the Sun Life ones. As I'm typing this I have the TV on and, as there was nothing much I fancied watching, am tuned into Ideal World. This moron is trying to convince me that some cheap Chinese phone is going to transform my life, all for £139 or 4 easy flexipayments. I don't know how people can watch this drivel. It's only saving grace is that I don't have to watch a funeral ad as the whole show is one ad.
Knowing a bit about watches, I marvel at how they can push absolute garbage Chinese ones, the type they buy in at a maximum of around £20 each and then charge £600 for them.
Only the really stupid or, bless them, the elderly with diminishing faculties can be fooled in this way.
I suppose this is the price to be paid for having a TV (I was without one for 7 years until May, and have spent a fair bit of my time since then watching TV as I've been ill).
